Students using Sooner Sense to purchase off-campus goods will have fewer options as Housing and Food Services plans to discontinue its merchant program with off-campus restaurants.
Off-campus restaurants will no longer accept Sooner Sense as a form of payment starting Thursday, said Lauren Royston, Housing and Food spokeswoman. The off-campus merchant program is being discontinued because fewer and fewer students are using Sooner Sense off campus, Royston said.
As more students got access to debit cards, they stopped using Sooner Sense as much, Royston said.
Students will still be able to use Sooner Sense at all on-campus restaurants, parking at the Union, making copies at the library and many on-campus vending machines, Royston said.
“It will absolutely still be a convenience for them,” Royston said.
While Sooner Sense will be discontinued off campus, Royston said OU would be open to the creation of another off-campus merchant program if the demand for such a program increased.
